Snowed in, snow-thrower quite (started up later so I guess it just needed a break), made it to the vet.
Not in the mood for modeling.

Started plowing yesterday at about 4:00 PM, came home to take a nap during a lull at about 2:00 AM, alarm rang at 3:00 AM, looked out the window and the wind had apparently picked back up, went back out again and plowed until about 10:00 AM and had some crappy McDonalds. Went back to all the accounts just to check the drifts and sand all the lots, just got home about an hour ago.
Time for bed, see you all in a day or so...
:peace

Two , three feet of snow , but ten foot drifts in places , ...... a drift covered both my wheels in the driveway , ........ a luckier guy picked me up to go plow out the schools , ......... got up yesterday at 3am , ........... got home last night at 8 ,.............. it's 5:30am now and I'm back off to plow out the schools , .............
THIS SUCKS .............. but I am making some overtime from the designated holiday yesterday , .......... and I'm sure I'll be at it for more than 8 hrs today , which means more overtime , ...........
In the long run this July I can look back on all of this and say , .......... THAT SUCKED .............

Ok , .......... that's enough snow for today , ............... so much for the ten days off I had to model , ............ this is just one of six schools that need to be un-snowed , ............ they may not be able to reopen on Jan. 3 rd , ..........
Got to work and snapped these , .........
That snow on the roof was a drift that came off the front of the school at a 30 degree run out to the road , ....... what you see here is what's left from working all day Monday .............
But with all the bs , ............. I did get to watch this , ................ a few miles beyond that tree line is the Atlantic ocean and Barnegat Bay ...........

That is beautiful! Looks better through the double paned windows with Hot Mocha in your hands.

Hmmm, Mocha...
I remember well having to leave out the second floor window to go to the chow hall at GFAFB. Thankfully CE dug out the chow hall first.

Yes Saul this is a paycheck for me, so it isn't all bad right now. In fact I truly enjoy being out all hours of the night, alone in the cab with the radio, a thermos of coffee and a cooler full of snacks.
Of course ask me again in another six weeks or so (depending on the winter we get) and I may have a different opinion.
We only got around 16" here but due to the blizzard conditions (horizontal snow on sustained wind of 35 MPH or greater for a long period of time) the snow would pile back up where you already plowed and at times I had to stop completely in the middle of the road as I couldn't even see the plow rig. If you look at the telephone poles in the pictures, you'll see the Western side is clean and bare, while the Eastern side of the pole is covered in about three inches of stuck snow, a testament to the wind.
*Sorry for using photobucket Bob but I couldn't figure that new gallery out...

Ya'll are funny.
Glenn, it's a Boss.
I like it, some guys say the Hydraulics are slow (blade doesn't slam to the ground when you drop it but just kinda bumps it aggressively) but I don't see the need to rattle everything apart every time you lower it anyway...
I guess it makes them feel manly?
I can do magical things with that plow, lol... things I could never do with a rigid straight blade.
